Rating Snapshot

I was concerned that this product might not be effective for smaller ants, which are my primary concern. But since I applied the product, I have seen no ants in the affected area whatsoever. So, at this early stage, I give the product a very favorable rating. By contrast. I had found the Home Defense Max liquid product to be ineffective for outdoor applications, beyond the first few days after application.
